America’s oldest military award, distinctive in its rarity, has been acknowledged since its inception in 1782. Purple Heart Recognition Day on August 7 has long held significant meaning for staff members at Navy Hospital Bremerton and Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton, like many other Navy Medicine and Defense Health Agency commands.
Those who have received a Purple Heart have been battered and bruised, but not beaten. Each insisted they were just doing their duty as a hospital corpsman. We respectfully recognize several Purple Heart recipients - Hospital Corpsmen 1st Class Edwardbrice Sablan, Richard Vaughn, Danrung Vanichkul, and Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Dustin Zimmer from NMRTC Bremerton who sustained injury in combat (Official Navy photos).
